AssemblyInfo version information asterisks

Question

It says in AssemblyInfo.cs for C# projects that it\'s possible to specify version information with *

// Version information for an assembly cons         


        

Answer 1

In my opinion, using [assembly: AssemblyVersion("x.y.z.*")], Patch shouldn't be automatically numbered. Eg:

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.2.3.*")]

Using '*' in AssemblyVersion is good, but follow seemver.org we should use * for the revision part from version structure ...).

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,

MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and

PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.
